Every Cameo You May Have Missed In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3

Yes, this one might be pushing the limits of the term cameo a bit. Then again, since James Gunn himself calls it that, who are we to argue? 

Eagly the eagle is the lovable CGI bird of prey that appears prominently in James Gunn's DCEU show "Peacemaker" as the titular vigilante's (John Cena) pet. As it happens, a very similar-looking bird turns up as one of the all too many caged animals in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." When Gunn took a moment to answer some fan questions on Twitter, one viewer took the opportunity to question whether the two birds' similarities were intentional. "That was actually the real Eagly," Gunn replied, almost casually confirming the most unexpected crossover character's presence in "Vol. 3." 

In almost any other occasion, the surprise presence of a DCEU character in a MCU movie would be monumental news. However, sometimes a bird is just a bird. After all, Gunn notoriously loves a good Easter egg, and since his work history has been extremely DC-themed both before and after "Vol. 3," it's only natural that he'd sneak in a little something from his work over the fence. As such, fans probably shouldn't hold their breath for the Eagly Shared Cinematic Universe.
